. >> okay 0 so i wouldn't be supportive the dr requester asked for a notch i think we're kind of randomly taking off portions of the deck no one asked for i don't know if it's a noise issue i support moving the building back but not the notch. >> as you know the notch is currently for the existing stairs which means the existing building is had has an open stair in what is the notched area instead of filling that in i want to encourage to have it partially filled b in but have the last portion be cut back again so you're not having too much of an expansion into the property line. >> i'm not sure i know where it is. >> it's that piece they can share that. >> it's west. >> this is where the deck would be. >> it's up here. >> this portion here is this what you're take the opportunity. >> no, no, no, no. >> third-story. >> right and exactly where mr. jennings is pointing. >> this sliver. >> no 3 feet on the corner. >> no, no. >> it's the part that is - >> it's where the current stairs are. >> we're saying not fill it in do you have the drawings? and the existing stairs are on the north side.
